Abrasive sanding mop KLINGSPOR 13068 for rotary tools — Aluminium oxide, Ø60 mm, width 40 mm, 12700 RPM, pack of 10

The KLINGSPOR abrasive sanding mop 13068 (KM 613) for rotary tools is a compact mounted flap wheel designed for finishing, blending and deburring on stainless steel, metal, wood and plastic. With a 60 mm diameter and 40 mm working width it provides wide surface contact while remaining suitable for work in tighter and complex-shaped areas. The tool is supplied as a pack of 10 and is intended for use in straight grinders and rotary tools with speed control.

Advantages

The KM 613 construction features soft, flexible abrasive flaps that adapt to contours and maintain a constant material removal rate. The moving flaps promote ventilation during use, reducing heat build-up and helping to avoid annealing colours on stainless steel. Manufactured with aluminium oxide grit and a high-quality synthetic resin bond, this flap wheel delivers consistent finishing performance across a range of materials.

Suitable for

• Deburring and edge blending on stainless steel and other metals
• Surface finishing and polishing of metal profiles and welds
• Light stock removal and shaping on wood
• Matte finishing and smoothing of plastic components

When it may not be suitable

This mounted flap wheel is not intended for heavy material removal on large surfaces where larger-diameter, coarse abrasives or dedicated grinding wheels would be more efficient. It is also unsuitable for use above the specified maximum speed of 12,700 RPM or on applications that require precision machining tolerances beyond abrasive finishing.

Key specifications

• Abrasive grain: Aluminium oxide
• Diameter: 60 mm
• Working width: 40 mm
• Maximum recommended speed: 12,700 RPM
• Colour: brown / silver
• Pack quantity: 10 pieces
• Shaft type: standard shank for collet use

How to use

Mount the sanding mop in a compatible straight grinder or rotary tool with a matching collet and ensure the shank is clamped to the recommended minimum clamping length. Operate the tool at or below the maximum recommended speed of 12,700 RPM. Apply light, even pressure and move the mop along the workpiece contours to blend, deburr or finish the surface; excessive pressure reduces flap life and may cause overheating. Allow the flaps to do the cutting and use steady motions to achieve an even finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Match the 60 mm diameter and 40 mm width to your workpiece geometry and tool collet capacity
• Confirm your tool supports up to 12,700 RPM and that you can clamp the shank to the required length
• Choose appropriate grit grade for the intended task (coarse for rapid stock removal, finer for finishing)

Usage recommendations

For stainless steel finishing, work at moderate speed with light pressure to avoid heat discoloration; replace mops when flaps wear down to maintain consistent removal and surface quality.
